The Mr. Murph Difference

Remember those days of separating out plastics, aluminum, paper, and cardboard into bin after bin–taking up space in your garage or business?

Mr. Murph helps solve that problem. He allows us to take the work out of YOUR end (the consumer) and puts it on OUR end (the business). We do the sorting for you.

Businesses all over Tulsa can order a Mr. Murph bin to collect co-mingled recyclables. Co-mingled! That means YOU don’t have to sort them. We do! And, you don’t even have to change your current waste management company.

Mr. Murph is great at making friends; he just sits down right next to your existing container. Put your regular waste in your current provider’s receptacle and feed Mr. Murph all of your plastics, aluminum, steel, paper, and cardboard—no more separating.

Not only does Mr. Murph eat up your co-mingled recyclables, he is helping generate electricity at our Waste to Energy Landfill that powers homes every day from the garbage you generate! He’s a pretty great guy, working hard to keep Green Country…well, Green.

The Story of Mr. Murph

The nickname Murph comes from the name Material Recovery Facility (MRF) — what we call our new facility here at Tulsa Recycle and Transfer.

Mr. Murph was specifically designed to separate mixed recyclables, thereby reducing the impact of reusable resources from being disposed of in our landfills. We’re happy to say…he was the very first of his kind in Oklahoma.

A key part of what makes Mr. Murph so special is his automation. The recovery process starts when mixed recyclables are dumped onto a conveyor belt and then taken through a series of manual and mechanical stages that separate the recyclables. The result is a 95% recovery rate and a cleaner environment for all of us.
